This is sabre rattling and everyone knows it. A municipality in Germany already tried switching to open source. They're back on Office and Sharepoint.

This is a lot bigger than one municipality. And with the Munich thing there was a lot of dodgy lobbying going on. Like Microsoft suddenly moving their HQ there. Then a new mayor came in that was suddenly all pro-Microsoft.

La suite is a lot bigger than that. And parts are actually being used already. They recently started using the meeting component called visio.
